'Heartstone' Wins 2nd European 福利1000在线 Film Award.
After a strong and passionate debate held by 19 students from 19 European countries in Hamburg the Icelandic film HEARTSTONE (Hjartasteinn) by Gu冒mundur Arnar Gu冒mundsson is the winner of the second European 福利1000在线 Film Award (EUFA).
The winner was announced as part of the 30th European Film Awards in Berlin, at the welcome reception hosted by the Creative Europe Desk on December 8, 2017. The award was presented to Gu冒mundur Arnar Gu冒mundsson by Filmfest Hamburg director Albert Wiederspiel.
From the jury statement: "HEARTSTONE is a story about exploration of identities and growing up within an isolated Icelandic community. It highlights the pressure placed on people to conform to particular gender conventions and social norms. The film offers an individual and unique perspective on the difficulty of experiencing and suppressing same-sex attraction in small, disconnected communities. As an up and coming talent, Gu冒mundur Arnar Gu冒mundsson delivers an immersive story visualized by overwhelming natural landscapes and beautiful performances. It stands out not only because it is a good film, but also because it explores relevant contemporary issues within today's society.."
